Galavant Season 2 Episode 3 and 4 "Aw, Hell, the King" "Bewitched, Bothered, and Belittled" Review


Episode 3
Desperate to raise an army and storm Hortensia, Galavant and King Richard return to his former castle to find the village thriving, now that they've found democracy. The discovery causes Richard to have an identity crisis now that his people don't need him. Galavant uses a town hall meeting to recruit fighters from the village, but volunteers are in short supply. In Hortensia, an evil wedding planner named Wormwood poisons Isabella's mind with an enchanted tiara, intent on making her help him take over the kingdom.
Episode 4
While continuing their quest to gather an army, King Richard discovers that he has a connection to Roberta, the beautiful warrior who volunteered to help. Galavant plays matchmaker. Madalena is invited to the Basikobitcz party - the popular girls of the kingdom - and can't wait to be accepted into their group. The party is not what she expected, and, when she returns home, Madalena discovers that she has feelings and does not like her new emotion.

Review
This was another really funny and great set of episodes. Galavant and Richards whole story was really great I loved the song where Richard is trying to figure out what he could do with his life if he is not king. And Galavant trying to find some way to pull together an army to help him was really funny how all the towns people kept mixing up Isabella and Madalena and in the end he did get one lady to join his army. And I really hope that Galavant's plains eventually work out and a relationship grows between Richard and Roberta. Isabella being under mind control is a little weird but I'm curious to see where that is going to eventually lead to, especially now that the chef and servant have left. Madalena's whole part in this episode was sad but also great and ended with probably my favorite new song from this series. And I hope some kind of relationship forms between her a Gareth so then when it comes time for him to pick a side their is a bit more of a struggle for him. Over all I really enjoyed these episodes and I can't wait for the next ones.


Gotham Season 2 Episode 10 "The Son of Gotham" Review


Gordon confronts a suspect who is connected to Galavan, but falls short of obtaining any information. Meanwhile, Bruce gets one step closer to discovering the name of his parent's killer.

This was another decent episode but not one of the greatest episodes. The whole idea of the monks going around basically sacrificing people for this great rebirth of Gotham seemed a little strange to me and like this major plot they decided to throw in for these final to episodes leading up to the mid season finally. Galavan getting out of prison so easily because the old mayor changed his story at the last moment seems like it would be impossible because his story was different all leading up to the actual court case. I actually really liked seeing Bruce in this episode and the interrogation scene with him and Silver was so well done and very clever. Gordon becomes even darker in this episode because of his determination to put Galavan away I think by the end of this season he might loose a lot and have to gain the trust of his friends back if he doesn't turn his attitude around. The ending leads me to think the Gordon might end up in dept with penguin again by owing him another favor with them having to work together to take down Galavan. Over all this was a decent episode but not the greatest of episodes.

Scorpion Season 2 Episode 12 "Dam Breakthrough" Review


Its Christmas Eve and Team Scorpion must prevent a catastrophe when torrential rains create a large crack in a dam. The fight to save an entire town from the threat if it wiping out an entire town in its wake.

This was a really amazing episode and I loved every moment of it. the whole plot of this episode seemed super clever to me and the did a really good job of adding the drama and making it so that I could really feel the pressure they all were under. The beginning up to where they first got to the dam felt a little slow but after that it was very fast pace with everything just going wrong. I really enjoyed the moment with Cabe going down and trying to repair the crack in the dam. I also really liked the Happy and Toby's bomb making and they both managed to have the thought that Toby could have any throwing strength, The ending was really great and sweet and Paige's believe in the Christmas spirit really seemed to move through this whole episode. Over all I really enjoyed this episode and it defiantly was a favorite of mine.

Agents Of SHIELD Season 3 Episode 9 "Closure" Review


Ward's vendetta and plan for revenge against S.H.I.E.L.D. brings the team to their knees, and Coulson proves he will be willing to do anything to settle the conflict.

This was a really great episode to be a first part to the mid season finally but not really the greatest as a stand alone episode. The whole episode seemed to be a fight between Ward and Coulson because somehow they were finally once again on "even ground." The part with Fitz and Simmon's getting kidnapped by Hydra seemed a little awkward in how it all went down and the interrogation part seemed like is was trying to be more dramatic then it actually was. I did like seeing Mack as the director and I hope he might get some more head rolls in the future, it was also fun to see the first group of secret warriors. Over all I really didn't care for this episode but that is also partially because it's only part one of two parts and I can't wait to see what the second part will bring.

Scorpion Season 2 Episode 11 "The Old College Try" Review


The Scorpion team goes under cover at a college to discover who is holding the federal reserve for ransom. Walter tries to help Ray, while Paige is trying to get Walter to express grief about Megan.

This was a really funny episode and Happy and Walter were defiantly the two best characters in the episode. The whole team going back to college and pose as students was really funny especially with how they decided to split up the team for each of the clubs and things they needed to be a part of in order to try and find who sent the message. Happy and her attempt to get into a sorority was the best in how she didn't even try to act different and try and fit in. Walter and the acting club and Toby and his job interview with his arch-nemesis where also really great on how everything went down, and Walter stole the show against the acting club at the end of the episode. The whole quantum computer felt a little random to me and really seemed like a plot to try and make a part of this episode seem more dramatic. But that being said how they dealt with the quantum computer was really great and funny and had some really great moments to it. Over all I really enjoyed this episode and I really loved it.


Galavant Season 2 Episode 1 "A New Season aka Suck It Cancellation Bear" Review


Galavant and the crew are shipwrecked thanks to bad advice, and their overland trek back to Richard's kingdom leads to a bar in West Hollow-wood then to a fortune teller.

This was a really good reintroduction episode of this really fun series. I really liked all the parts with Richard and Galavant wondering back to Richard's kingdom. The part with the enchanted forest and what it really was the best in how they talked about it without really talking about what it was. And how Galavant and Richard eventually managed to escape was also really great. Richard and the unicorn were also a really great joke that I hope it might come back and help them in the future. And I can't wait to see how Richard being the one true hero because he pulled the sword out of the stone and  I can't wait to see how that might play into the storyline in the future. The joke with the magic staff and Isabella's amulet was really great in how it was so true with how phone connection and dropped calls used to be like. Isabella and the rest of the crews story plots were really fun in this episode and I really loved the queen and Gareth's the best. Overall this was a really great episode and I can't wait for the next one.

Quantico Season 1 Episode 8 "Over" Review


In the future, the FBI computer system is hacked and confidential files go public, leading Alex to the conclusion that a second bomb is in play somewhere in NYC. Back at Quantico, the recruits are given individual assignments, only to realize they are all connected as part of a lesson to look about the bigger picture.

This was a really great episode to reset and have characters switch sides, and be removed from the picture for awhile. Nimah and Raina have fully established themselves as separate members of the team but their was that really struggle for people trying to decipher who's personality is Nimah's and which is Raina's. and the twins also have to keep up the struggle of the rest of the recruits might know there secret but they still have to keep it up outside of Quantico base in order to keep their cover in tack for their future work. Caleb is really starting to pull away more and more from his dad and I am really starting to wonder if the whole government wanted to take Alex down as some kind of revenge against her dad and possibly her mom after what this episode reviled but that would also seem a little weird. This show is doing a really good job at keeping it seem like all of the recruits could be guilty of the bombings instead of Alex and I find that amazing that they have all this stored up material that they can sneak into a shot here and their. Over all this was a really amazing episode and I can't wait to seem what the next on might bring.
